草地狀丸地瓜球 鹽行夜市

Located in Tainan's Yanxing Night Market, "Grassland Round Balls" is a small stand that specializes in sweet potato balls. The simple sign attracts a large number of customers. Here, sweet potato balls are priced at 20 TWD for one pack and 50 TWD for three packs, which is very affordable! The owner is also generous, often filling the bags to the brim and even adding an extra flattened ball (a concept of "off material" 😆) after packing, giving people a great sense of value. The texture of the sweet potato balls is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a mildly sweet flavor that’s just right—not too overwhelming, making it one of the most popular snacks at the night market.

Grassland Round Balls can be said to have the best business of all sweet potato ball stands at the Yanxing Night Market. There’s often a queue, and sometimes you might have to wait until the next batch is freshly fried if the sweet potato balls run out. But many are willing to wait, just like I do 😋, just to enjoy this classic and affordable snack.

Additionally, there’s a little secret: sweet potato balls come in yellow and purple varieties. The purple ones are rarer and a bit sweeter, partly due to their higher cost, which I asked the owner about 😆.

Overall, this sweet potato ball stand not only offers great flavors but also reasonable prices, making it well worth a try!
